On August Thirty-First, Élodie Hubert turned fifteen.
That same day, her brother's car hit a wall at Spa.
While she danced under stage lights, he took his final lap under rain.
Years later, Élodie hides behind satin slippers and arabesques, a ballerina chasing silence in a world that once roared. But when a final-year school project sends her into the paddock of the Mercedes Junior Team, she's forced to confront the place where everything changed.
And him - Kimi Antonelli, the boy who drives like the world can't touch him, but looks at her like it already has.
In the hum between engines, and the quiet after applause, a fragile connection grows. What begins as avoidance becomes understanding. What starts in silence becomes something softer.
A story about grief, healing, and the unexpected places we find home - even where the noise fades.
"Some love doesn't scream. It whispers."
